Unable to add a new geojson file with error item already exists but no existing item can be seen

[owenlamont]

Describe the bug I'm getting an item already exists error when attempting to add a geojson file but not such existing item can be found when searching or when inspecting the arcgis web app.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

import io

from arcgis.gis import GIS
import keyring

#keyring.set_password("arcgis", "username", "password")
credentials = keyring.get_credential("arcgis", None)

gis = GIS("https://madeupname.maps.arcgis.com/", username=credentials.username, password=credentials.password)

with open('./western_australia.geojson', 'rb') as file:
    geojson_data = io.BytesIO(file.read())

item_properties = {
    "fileName": "western_australia.geojson",
    "title": "Western Australia",
    "type": "GeoJson",
    "tags": "geojson, arcgis"
}

geojson_item = gis.content.add(item_properties, data=geojson_data)

error:

Screenshots

Expected behavior I expect to be able to add a file that shouldn't already exist (I tried setting an overwrite argument that was mentioned in the docs but that didn't help)

Platform (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22621.2428
• Browser Vivaldi
• Python API Version 2.2.0

Additional context I had successfully run the above code before (manually deleting the geojson file in arcgis.com web app). One time I ran it though and the add command gave a different error (which I unfortunately didn't capture) so maybe it partly created the geojson file but in a bad way so that I can't see it by searching for it or by looking in the web app. I've tried restarting my Jupyter kernel but I consistently get this error. I tried using the overwrite keyword argument in the item_properties when calling add (and also tried setting overwrite as a normal keyword argument when calling add but none of those attempts has worked)

@jyaistMap Do you know of a fix for this?
